"I just feel passionately that the modern worship experience is based too often on the seeker rather than the Savior"
It sure looks that way a lot of the time.Not that I'm some sort of expert.I think that the more we contemplate the reality of Jesus and who He is and what it all means for us the more our worship experience will be largely taken up with jaw dropping awe.
As metmom posted earlier Jesus calls us friend.I love to sit looking at some quirk in the creation and saying to Him "I see what you did there".I think that is worship,of a sort and it's friendship as well.He is acknowledged in every atom.I think God enjoys that and maybe even smiles.Not forgetting that He is an all consuming fire.
God bless you.
FWIW, here is my issue.
In many churches there is no room for mourning. Mourning for sickness, the loss of a loved one, over a wayward child or even one’s sin.
Instead these churches insist that you must have a upbeat persona.
That is not worshipping in truth.
